Fantastic to hear things worked out well! Sounds like an amazing team. Sending good healing thoughts your way and a big best for the recovery days ahead. 🕊️

I’m thinking that might be the case (unless I'm misreading it 🤔... always a possibility. Ha)! Seems like positive news. Also, I read that “High prosthetic valve gradient does not always mean prosthetic dysfunction….”. Am interested to know the cause of the “…mild generalised hypo attenuated...

I finally got sent a copy of my Cardiac CT results recently sent to my GP: ... This showed good mobility of his bioprosthetic aortic valve leaflets with only mild generalised hypo attenuated thickening (HALT), no evidence of thrombus, mild LAD disease. These findings are overall reassuring...

All this positive feedback makes my blood flow smoothly! 😊

😅

Thanks Andy! That's reassuring and good to know. I suspected my half-a-brain state had completely misheard him. I got 6 "freebie" strips with the CoaguChek package. Am down to the last two already. Haha. If at first you don't succeed... 😅 👍🏻

Super news, Deidra! Sending good healing thoughts and a recovery big best your way.

I worship my Pill Box, by the way.

Hahaha... well, I should say 7mg just to play devil's advocate 😈 But suppose 9mg (ish) could be the sweet spot... Then again, what do I know! 😄 *I don't drink, but I should buy you all a beer, anyway.

Seeing as I have contradicted myself and continued to post my ongoing newbie-to-warfarin INR readings anyway, I thought I’d continue until in range and stable, chiefly as an example and reference for any others new to all this. Clinic blood draw today (Friday): INR now 1.7 An increase from...

All the very best going forward, Gail.

The best to you for today’s surgery. And onwards to a good and steady recovery. Will be looking out for your updates.

Welcome home! Sending good healing thoughts your way and the best for the recovery days and weeks ahead.

Clinic blood draw today (Tuesday): INR now 1.3 A drop from last Thursday's 1.4 New dosage schedule given: 9mg tonight 9mg tomorrow 7mg Thursday Clinic INR test Friday When the clinic called with my new INR figure at midday, they asked me to go back again in the afternoon to have a heparin...

Super news, Tom. Long may it continue. All the best to you going forward. ☀️

Sound advice and one I have been following behind the scenes in preparation for getting my own CoaguChek® INRange soon. Pell’s been very helpful. As have you all. Yes, that’s my concern. I may contact them again tomorrow to discuss, especially considering I’m on no other anticoagulant at...

Yes. That’s what I thought... but also half expected, considering how things have gone so far. Have a self-testing interview with the clinic next Thursday. The clinic said don’t buy an INR meter until you’ve had this interview. Tempted to just buy the meter anyway rather than wait for their...
